The things that I’ve lost fill up all the rooms in my head
Might have to move them outside to the shed
Might have to leave all those failures behind
At least insomuch as they live in my mind

There was that time my friend told me right from the start
“Buddy, I’ve got your best interests at heart”
Then he went off and took the other guy’s side
It’s hard not to think of it, god knows I’ve tried

But I keep letting go
I keep letting go
I let the bitter winds blow
And just keep letting go

That guy with in that book says “I’ve got the magical key
“I’ll give it to you if you’ll just follow me
“But there are some people we kind of despise
“(We’ll) put their heads on a stick like The Lord Of The Flies”

Then there were those nights when my little head led me astray
When I almost threw my whole family away
I was treated unfairly, but now I know why
Nothing’s worth doing if it starts with a lie

But I keep letting go
I keep letting go
I let the bitter winds blow
And just keep letting go

That guy in that house put us in that godawful war
Just like the fellow who lived there before
We thought that this one might break up the game
Still hopin’ for change, but so much is the same

Lyin’ awake, wond’rin’ how to keep food on the plate
This starting-all-over comes just a bit late
Well, if I’m going nowhere, at least I’m goin’ there fast
I may not be the first but I won’t be the last

So I keep letting go
I keep letting go
I let the bitter winds blow
And just keep letting go

I keep letting go
I keep letting go
I let the bitter winds blow –
And just keep letting go
